Alabama Beats Blazers in Every Aspect
It was about as perfect as you are going to get in the game of baseball. The offense was potent and the pitching was dominant all day long. The 16th ranked Alabama Crimson Tide completely dominated the UAB Blazers, 16-0, Wednesday afternoon to improve to 9-2 on the year.
Offensively, Alabama pounded out 20 hits and was led by sophomore Ryan Rhoden who went a perfect 5-5 on the day, with 2 RBIs and 2 runs scored. Senior Emeel Salem went 2-2 in the game with multiple walks and sophomore Alex Avilla went 3-5 with a couple of RBIs. Sophomore Kent Matthes continued his RBI streak, now having at least 1 RBI in each of the teams 11 games this season, as he went 1-3 on the afternoon with a run batted in.
The pitching staff was equally as impressive as starter Bernard Robert improved to 1-0 on the season with 5 innings of shutout innings only giving up two hits on the day. Will Stroup tossed three scoreless innings only giving up one hit and striking out four. Brian Griggs tossed a perfect ninth inning to complete the team shutout.
Alabama (9-2) remains at home this weekend to take on the visiting McNeese State Cowboys with the series starting Friday night at 6:30pm CT.
